My mother-in-law bought it because it looks cool but there was nothing to identify it.

Damn work filters…would it be possible to put the pic on Picasa, also? I love these kinds of questions but everyone’s pics are always on Photobucket or Flickr and both of them are filtered out here.
ETA: If that would involve you having to actually register and get set up at Picasa, feel free to ignore the request. I’m talking if you already have a Picasa account.

Sorry, I only have Photobucket because I rarely use it. I just got the account to be able to post pics on message boards.
May I send you the pic via e-mail? PM me…

It seems to be Codiaeum variegatum ‘Revolution’ (Google for a picture and tell me if I’m right).

I don’t know where she got it, but we’re located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada so most likely Bradford Greenhouse out on Highway 90.
